According to a warrant for Garrett’s arrest filed in Hampton District Court, police responded to a townhouse in the 100 block of Haverford Court in Hampton Club around 3:23 a.m.

A woman who lived in the townhouse had a man over, police wrote in the complaint. About 3 a.m., she noticed someone hitting the doors and windows of the building.

While holding a window to keep it from breaking, investigators said, she realized the person outside was Garrett, the father of her child. She told police that he managed to break the bedroom window lock and get in, telling her, “I finally caught you.”

Garrett, who according to the warrant was wearing gloves and a red bandanna over his face, knocked her phone from her hand and choked her. Police said he then went to the living room, where her friend was, and started arguing with him.

The friend told Garrett he was leaving, according to the complaint, but Garrett told him “you ain’t going nowhere.” Investigators said he charged at the friend, stabbing him above his left brow.

The friend also said he was stabbed twice in his chest, police said. The two struggled on the couch, the friend punching and choking Garrett while managing to take the knife from him.

According to a news release from police spokeswoman Ashley Jenrette, the woman managed to escape. Garrett was taken to a hospital with injuries considered life-threatening, while police said the other man was treated for injuries that were not considered life-threatening.

Garrett had an initial appearance in court on Wednesday. He’s due back on March 11.
